At twelve o 'clock in the morning, in the Peciko Mountains in northern Finland.
Except for the manor five kilometers away and the road a few kilometers away, there was no sign of human habitation.
In this quiet night, a "meteor" pierced through the night sky and fell into the frozen soil covered by the pine forest.
There was a muffled bang.
The snow on the ground splashed everywhere and turned into a layer of dreamy mist under the high-temperature airflow.
When the mist mixed with snow dissipated, the prism-shaped airdrop cabin gradually revealed its figure. Accompanied by the sound of steam leaking, the cabin door slowly opened, and a figure staggered out from inside, scaring away the little fox who was peeking its head out to look around.
"Fu * k, this thing really isn't meant for humans."
Jiang Chen held onto the pine tree next to him and retched, then raised his arm and wiped his mouth.
Compared to his embarrassment, Ayesha's state was relatively normal. She walked out of the airdrop cabin and walked behind Jiang Chen with a worried look. She patted his back, cast a concerned look, and said in a low voice.
"Are you okay? Why don't you … wait for me here? "
"Pfft, wait for you here? Then why did I come here in person? Don't worry, I'm fine. My stomach just turned a little. " Jiang Chen grimaced and straightened his body. He gave Ayesha a comforting smile, then walked to the airdrop cabin and put his hand on the hatch.
In a blink of an eye, the entire airdrop cabin was thrown into the storage dimension.
As soon as he received the coordinates from Lin Lin, Jiang Chen traveled back to the modern world, took the space elevator to Celestial City, used his authority to dispatch the transport ship, and landed directly in the airdrop cabin in northern Finland.
Originally, he planned to come alone, but in the end, he couldn't dissuade Ayesha's insistence, so he brought her along.
In fact, this mission was not dangerous at all. Carmen, who exposed his coordinates, was no different from a dead person to him. Even if he came alone, it would be more than enough to take care of him.
If he didn't want to personally send off this "old friend", he could have asked Monica to do it directly.
After putting on the K2 kinetic skeleton with the optical invisibility module, Jiang Chen checked the equipment on his body. After confirming that he was ready, he waved his hand and directly threw out a snowmobile from the storage dimension.
Five kilometers was still a bit far, not to mention it was a mountain road. If he walked, it would take him until the middle of the night.
After Ayesha got on, Jiang Chen started the snowmobile and rushed to the manor located halfway up the mountain.
…
Rather than calling it a manor, it would be better to call it a castle.
This was the northernmost manor of the Rothschild family. It was built in the 17th century and once belonged to a Swedish Prince. After several transfers, it was bought by the Rothschild family and renovated into a livable manor. Except for the European-style castle walls, it was basically unrecognizable.
Putting the motorcycle into the storage dimension, the two moved along the mountain road. When they reached the mountainside, Ayesha gestured to Jiang Chen, then activated optical invisibility and moved forward alone.
A security guard wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket stood at the entrance of the manor and yawned at the empty and lonely mountain road.
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing him to shiver involuntarily. He looked around and cursed in a low voice.
"Fu * k, there are really people coming to this place where even birds don't shit?"
When he said this, he didn't notice that a nearly transparent figure passed by him.
Shaking his head, with the dim light, he suddenly saw a line of footprints that didn't belong to him on the snow and immediately became alert. However, before he could react, he only heard a series of crackling noises and his consciousness left his body.
Ayesha, who had already taken care of the two people behind him, turned back and used the taser in her hand to shock him.
With a normal person's body, it would take at least a day or two to wake up.
Ayesha dragged the security guard lying on the ground and hid him in the bushes. She proudly shook the taser in her hand at Jiang Chen as if to say, "Look, it was the right choice to bring me."
Jiang Chen made a helpless expression, got up from behind the bunker, and walked to the front door that was no longer guarded.
His original plan was to enter from the front with a rifle. Anyway, it was far from the city and he didn't have to worry about the support of the Finnish police. But now that he thought about it, being low-key also had its advantages. If he could enter without firing a single shot, at least it would be less troublesome when he retreated.
Easily avoiding the patrols of more than a dozen security guards, Jiang Chen followed Ayesha and smoothly passed through the atrium to the main building. After entering the main building, the defense suddenly relaxed, and even the shadow of the security guards disappeared.
"This defense is too lax." Jiang Chen followed the stairs to the back floor, frowned slightly, and examined the decoration inside the mansion. The armor and shield from the Middle Ages looked very historical. From the mottled Rothschild emblem, these armors should be quite old.
Just as he was about to take a step, Ayesha suddenly grabbed him and pointed to the corner of the wall.
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, narrowed his eyes, and it took him a while to notice the clue.
"Infrared alarm?"
Ayesha nodded and sprinkled a special powder. Soon, the crisscrossed infrared in the corridor was outlined. Even with optical invisibility, it didn't completely disappear. If the infrared alarm was triggered, it might trigger some hidden traps in the dark.
The only thing Jiang Chen wondered about was that she protected herself like a painting in a museum. Did Carmen never get up to go to the bathroom when she slept?
"Give me some time."
The little girl took out professional equipment from her waist and prepared to dismantle it, but Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop her.
"Let me do it." Jiang Chen smiled confidently and took out an EMP grenade from his pocket. After pulling off the fuse, he gently tossed it against the floor and watched the grenade roll into the middle of the corridor.
The buzzing sound of electric current swept across, and the infrared was cut off. Not to mention the trigger, even the alarm was completely destroyed.
Looking at Ayesha's open mouth, Jiang Chen grinned.
"Time to go."
He whispered in the communication channel, loaded the rifle on his waist, and took the lead to move forward.
About half a year ago, Monica came to this manor, but when she came, Carmen wasn't here. Although she returned empty-handed, she still remembered the structure of this mansion. For example, Carmen's office and the bedroom she used to live in.
Following the map to the destination, Jiang Chen stood in front of Carmen's bedroom, cleared his throat, and politely knocked on the door.
However, what surprised him was that the room was unexpectedly quiet, and there was not a single sound.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Realizing something was wrong, he turned on the radio life detection device. To his surprise, there was no sign of life in the entire main building, let alone this room. The security was concentrated in the atrium, and the servants were all sleeping in the guesthouse …
"What's wrong?" Ayesha walked next to Jiang Chen and looked at him with a questioning gaze.
"I didn't expect to be one step late …?"
Ayesha used the master key to open the door lock. After entering the room, Jiang Chen turned on the tactical flashlight and looked around the bedroom. The bedding was all new, and there was a book on the bedside table. From the various details, the owner of the manor should have just left …
Walking forward, Jiang Chen picked up the book wrapped in a leather cover on the bedside table.
With the light of the flashlight, he recognized from the two lines of gilded text on the page that it should be a biography.
The author's surname was Rothschild, and this was the family history of the Rothschild family.
"It seems that I didn't come up empty-handed." Jiang Chen curled his lips and flipped through the pages with great interest. With the light of the flashlight, he scanned the contents of the book.
Just then, Ayesha received an internal call from a Ghost Agent.
After the communication ended, she walked next to Jiang Chen and whispered.
"Just now, the Russian security department returned a favor."
"Oh? What favor? "Jiang Chen turned around and asked.
"They saw Carmen at the Arrow military base next to the Lake Inari refugee camp."
